A Ford executive has pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated. Elena Ford, the great-great granddaughter of Henry Ford was placed on probation after the plea deal after she was caught driving under the influence with her 11 year old son. She was not driving a vehicle sold at a Volvo Dealer Maine, and she is the directory of global marketing at Ford. Ford's latest models can be serviced at a Richmond Auto Body Shop. She was sentenced to 24 months probation and ordered to undergo counseling as well as perform community service.
Toyota Quick Lube Service also offers vehicle servicing oil changes for Toyota and other models. Ford was fined $1,518 in court costs as well. The executive told the judge that she had four glasses of wine before she was arrested. Her attorney requested that her probation be cut by one year but the request was refused by the judge. The judge also said that a DUI usually comes with a 93 day jail sentence, but that the sentence was suspended pending the completion of her probation. There will be random alcohol and drug screenings for Ford while she is under probation, and a violation of her probation may result in jail time.
Ford was pulled over April 3 while driving in Ferndale and speeding. She did not take a breathalyzer test but she failed a field sobriety test. She had no prior driving offenses according to state records and she is the mother of four children. She registered a blood alcohol level of .18 while the legal minimum in Michigan is .08. She took the breathalyzer test after she was arrested which showed her level of intoxication. The incident was reported to the Michigan Department of Human Services which investigates cases involving children to determine if they are under risk.
